These 3 tutorial videos will help you learn how to identify banknotes and barcodes with the MyEye Pro, as well as how to teach your device a new (unrecognized) barcode.
For the MyEye Pro features, we recommend going through these video tutorials in the order presented, so you can learn to use your device as easily and quickly as possible. Start here with 'Banknotes & Barcodes' and continue to 'Face Recognition', then finally 'Color Detection, Product Learning and Orientation.' You will find at the end of each section the link to the next recommended video tutorials.

The three ways of identifying a banknote with OrCam MyEye are:
- Pointing to the banknote, similar to the use of the pointing gesture for reading.
- Tapping the touch bar once, similar to the use of the touch bar for reading.
- Holding the banknote in front of the device for a few seconds until it is recognised.
In all cases, make sure to hold the banknote steadily at a distance of about 12 inches directly in front of your face.
MyEye Pro Video 2: Identifying Products with Barcodes
The OrCam MyEye comes with a pre-loaded database of product barcodes, based on your locality. You can also teach OrCam MyEye to learn barcodes of products not already in the database.

The three ways of identifying a barcode with OrCam MyEye are:
- Pointing to the barcode, similar to the use of the pointing gesture for reading.
- Tapping the touch bar once, similar to the use of the touch bar for reading.
- Holding the barcode in front of the device for a few seconds until it is recognised.
In all cases, make sure to hold the product with the barcode steadily at a distance of about 12 inches. The barcode needs to be directly in front of your face, at eyelevel.
Note on Barcode Recognition:
• If OrCam MyEye does not recognize a barcode, the device will announce, “Unfamiliar barcode”. You can teach the barcode to the device by following the instructions on Learning New Barcodes below.

To get the video tutorial to play, click on the video image below.
Notes on Barcode Learning:
- OrCam MyEye will announce whether there are too many barcodes detected and will not start barcode learning if that's the case.
- During the learning process, touching the touch bar or using the stop gesture will end the learning session. If you touch the touch bar, OrCam MyEye will chime and say, “Cancelling Learning”. If you use the stop gesture, OrCam MyEye will make a low, double beep sound to indicate it has ended the learning session.
- OrCam MyEye will announce if it has failed to attempt learning a product’s barcode. If it does fail, please repeat the process again.
